Table 3 Top 20 genes undergoing positive selection in D. aldrichi. Orthogroups with Bonferroni corrected p-value < 1.0e− 20 and Likelihood ratio test statistic estimate from aBSREL > 82. Functional information for each gene was summarised based on Flybase descriptions for D. melanogaster orthologues, classification of the protein sequence using gene ontology and/or Pfam family annotations. Asterisks indicate two genes which also have inparalogues in the D. aldrichi branch
